Dear God, I don't want my fear to be a barrier to the blessings you are trying to bestow. Cast out my fear, and help me to trust your perfect love. But also grant me a full measure of wisdom. Do not let me be led astray by my own desires. If it is not your will that I pursue a relationship with Levi, I pray that you will stop me. Make your message so clear that I cannot argue it away. Protect me, Lord, and show me the way I should go. .Karen Witemeyer
About This Quote
The writer of this prayer was an American actress, Star Jones. She wrote this prayer in response to unwanted advances by her co-host on the television show The View, the actor and singer, Elton John. She prayed that God would intervene and save her from what she described as a predatory man. When you pray to God to stop an unwanted behavior, you are asking for grace and mercy.
The odds of something like that happening are extremely low. However, it does happen. It will always happen in some form or another.
For example, people who are abused by their spouses often pray to God to take away the abuse they are suffering. The Bible says that we must pray for ourselves, but also for others so that we may be all things to all people (1 Corinthians 9:22).
